We look forward to meeting you at IDLS 2013 where we will
be demonstrating our fully integrated Interoperability Assurance Services and
associated toolset SPIRIT™ , along
with our recently inaugurated VECTOR service
for TDL testing in synthetic and live environments. Please come along to the
IDLS Training Day where we will be joined by Engility to brief on the
Joint Range Extension Application
Protocol.

The Swedish Armed Forces Technical School, based in Halmstad has
recently completed the purchase of the MIDS Link 16 Data Link Training
Suite (DLTS). The DLTS will be used to train their personnel on the
technical and operating procedures utilised for MIDS/Link 16.

SyntheSys is pleased to announce its VECTOR (Validation, Evaluation and
Compliance Testing Of Requirements) service.

Based on previous experience
gained from our support to the UK Multi-Link Test Facility (MLTF), VECTOR has
been developed and fielded to support and sustain cost-effective
national/international tactical communications and network-enabled capability
testing in both synthetic and live environments. Whilst VECTOR will focus on
requirements test and evaluation, it will also facilitate the preparation of
test scripts and the comprehensive analysis of results from test scenarios. It
is not just confined to the military domain; we fully intend to utilise VECTOR
in support of civil and commercial customers with a need for requirements
testing, validation and verification. VECTOR will be integrated with our
SPIRIT capability to manage nations’ requirements for interoperability testing
and assurance. We will be demonstrating VECTOR’s attributes and services at
this year’s International Data Link Symposiumin Octoberat Norfolk, Virginia.

SyntheSys to provide further training to Dutch NDMC

SyntheSys are very pleased to have again
been invited by the Dutch National Data Link Management Cell at Nieuw
Milligen to provide further training for their personnel. The training,
which will cover Link 22, VMF and JREAP, will take place over 5 days at
the end of November 13. This course will be the fifth time that
SyntheSys has provided TDL training at the Dutch NDMC. Unsurprisingly,
we are delighted to continue our excellent relationship with the TDL
community in the Netherlands. If you would like to know more about our
training courses please contact training@synthesys.co.uk or phone

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is
currently participating in a series of realistic simulated battlespace environments
that test its mission system tactical data interoperability with other UK military
platforms in the air/maritime environments.

In the latest simulated maritime scenario,
Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and US Navy pilots operated the F-35 mission system
using Lockheed Martin desk top simulators at BAE System's UK Samlesbury site.The scenario saw the F-35 successfully linked
with a Sea King Airborne Surveillance and Control (SKASaC) helicopter, the
Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, and a Type 45 Daring-class destroyer. SyntheSys was responsible for establishing and
maintaining the data exchange mechanism used in support of the Type 45
participation.

This latest UK Lightning II
Interoperability event and a previous event
saw the real systems of the Queen Elizabeth-class Carrier, Type 45 and the Sentry
E-3D operated with theUK Lightning II and
other platform desk top simulators.Both
the Type 45 and Sentry E-3D arrangements are noteworthy because they utilise UK
Multi-Link Test Facility (MLTF) equipment that enables tactical data exchange using
real Command and Mission System equipment.

SyntheSys provides the MLTF capability to
the UK MOD, operating and supporting it for all Tactical Data Interoperability
testing needs.Use of the MLTF equipment
in these initial Interoperability tests provides confidence that the UK
Lightning II can be readily incorporated
into the UK operational tactical data exchange architecture.

Further UKLightning II Interoperability events are planned. A second phase of
testing covering both maritime and air/land integration scenarios will run from
2014 to 2017. This phase will include other key UK military platforms and full
integration of the Sea King Airborne Surveillance and Control (SKASaC)
helicopter mission systems facility which also utilises the SyntheSys MLTF
capability.
